The episodic format for TV or streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon is a great way to tell stories. The ability to jam as much story into an episode is a great way to grab an audience’s attention.
The universe is on course to be destroyed by an unknown evil entity. For Sam, the guardian of the universe and
curator of all known audio waves that bring balance and harmony between all celestial bodies, this will not do at all!
Sam sets out to find beings that can help him destroy this evil and put the universe back on course.
After exhaustive searching, he narrows his gaze to a small planet called Earth in the Sol system.
I know what you’re thinking, were these beings the great thinkers and scientists of ancient Egypt or Greece?
No.
How about scientists from the 20th century with names like Einstein, Turing or Hawking?
No.
As it turns out, it’s a 3rd rate pub band from Glasgow called “Groovey Waves”. These unlikely heroes,
along with Sam as their guide, set out to find this evil entity, put an end to its schemes,
play a few gigs along the way and save the universe.
Will they succeed?
Will they even survive?
Probably not!
But, if you’ve ever played any pub in Glasgow, you know
that anything can and usually does happen, so, you never know!
GROOVEY WAVES is a proposed 6 x 1 hour episodic Live Action series.
“It’s a tale of villainy, greed & murder!”
- a very important TV critic
In a city on the brink of destruction, a demonic entity takes the form of a beloved childhood actor who is bent on vengeance
towards anyone who doesn’t ask for an autograph. As his plan unfolds, he causes havoc and mayhem wherever he goes.
Only one man stands to oppose him, thwart his plans and save the city. Armed with his gun,
a dame by his side and his imaginary friend “Teddy the wonder lizard”, he sets out on a journey
to defeat the evil that plagues his city and return it to a place of peace and prosperity.
Sounds like a show everyone would want to watch, right?
Unfortunately, we don’t have the money to produce it, so we’re just going to stitch together
a bunch of skits, humorous vignettes and spoofs to fill thirty minutes that won’t make any sense.
Upset? Too bad! This is animation and to be fair, none of it makes any sense!
Here is a short clip from the pilot episode of "Soiled Shorts: THE SERIES". We'd show more, but on advice from counsel, we've been told not to.
In the dark recesses of one man’s mind lies the answers to all life’s questions.
The only problem… He plays golf for a living.
(so I wouldn’t be holding your breathe waiting for those answers!)
If you’ve read the exciting, yet ominous logline, you might be disappointed by the series synopsis! Oh well, you can’t have everything.
In actuality, THE TOUR is a 2D animated adult comedy series that details some of the ups and downs, moves from side to side, the eventual fall from grace and then (hopefully) the dramatic rise out of the ashes to claim the top prize in the world of “professional” golfers. And if that weren’t enough, THE TOUR will chronicle these stories in nice little bite size half hour episodes. Our tales tell of the adventures of Jack Curtis (our hero for lack of a better word) and his caddie Jose as they navigate the murky recesses of the professional golf tour known as “THE TOUR” (no one said golfers had great imaginations!). Along the way, Jack and Jose will face evil in its many forms (one of those being Jack’s nemesis Sir Charles Winchester Finch), find love (in the form of Jack’s girlfriend Sandra Wayne) and yes, even get a little golf in while trying to climb his way to the top of “THE TOUR”! Some people have suggested that THE TOUR is its own little universe unto itself. The rules of space, time, and physics (and more importantly common sense), never seem to apply. THE TOUR is a place where almost anything can happen and usually does.
THE TOUR is a proposed 13 x 22 mins. 2D animated series
In a far off medieval land where ravenous princesses scare the life out of beautiful dragons, royalty is reduced to selling insurance, peasants roam the land scaring tourists with their insistent barber shop singing and even knights are a scarce sight, come the tales of the “Endless Knights”™. Who are these knights you might ask? Well, they ride under the banner of the “Knights of the Heavily Dented Shield”. There’s Dirk the Brave, Richard the Strong and Robert the Short (or Bob, as that’s shorter). These “heroes” ride through the land striving to help the helpless (but rarely succeed), defeat the feetless (what?!?!?) and keep the peace (but usually cause mayhem, run away and blame it on the Vikings).
Endless Knights is a proposed 13 x 30 minute 2D animated series
